Follow the Mass Effect: Andromeda walkthrough for 'A Trail of Hope' on Aya. Learn how to gain Angara trust, start quests, and progress the main story.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Pilot the Tempest to the Onaon system. You'll encounter a superior force and then another alien threat. Engage in dialogue to buy SAM time, then attempt an escape.
  2. 2
    After the escape, you'll meet Angara like Paaran Shie and Jaal. Follow Paaran Shie's directions to meet Evfra, the resistance leader.
  3. 3
    Listen to the conversations with Jaal and Evfra to understand the Angara's distrust of aliens, particularly the Kett. Jaal offers to help you gain Evfra's trust, which is necessary to access the vault on Aya.
  4. 4
    After speaking with Evfra, you'll be back at the docks on Aya. Talk to Sohkaa Esof to start the quest “Trading Favors” and Avela Kjar for “Recovering the Past”.
  5. 5
    Speak with Enroh Bosaan to learn more about the Angara, though his information will be limited due to their distrust.
  6. 6
    Activate the “Docking Access Controls” to return to the Tempest.
  7. 7
    On the Tempest, Jaal will be introduced to the crew and explain the need to earn Evfra's trust. He proposes two jobs to help you gain this trust.
  8. 8
    You must choose between two quests: “Meet the Resistance” on Voeld or “Helping Havarl’s Scientists” on Havarl. Completing either will advance the Priority Ops “A Trail of Hope”. The guide will proceed assuming you choose “Meet the Resistance” on Voeld.
  9. 9
    Before heading out, chat with your crew members. You can pursue new quests, engage in dialogue, and explore newly unlocked systems in Heleus for resources and XP.
Tips
  • Dialogue choices are up to you, but focus on buying SAM time during the initial encounters.
  • Follow Paaran Shie's directions precisely on Aya to avoid getting lost and to progress the story efficiently.
  • While on Aya's docks, pick up the side quests “Trading Favors” and “Recovering the Past” for additional content.
  • Consider completing both “Meet the Resistance” and “Helping Havarl’s Scientists” if you wish, though only one is required to advance the main story.
  • Don't forget to interact with your crew on the Tempest for new dialogue, quests, and potential romance options.
  • Explore the new systems in Heleus for valuable resources and experience points.
